Commercial League firmly believes in giving back to the people and communities. We have been extremely fortunate to be in the position we are today and that position comes with a lot of responsibility in helping the less fortunate.
Supporting foster and elderly care
It is an annual tradition for Commercial League to support the foster care system in different ways. We have made numerous monetary donations to various foster homes, we have provided basics such as clothing and shoes and we have also organized many recreational events in an effort to bring smiles to kids’ faces.
We have used our main speciality, healthcare, to assist foster and elderly care centers for improving the people’ health. Commercial League have donated many medications and have provided medical services to these establishments. Over the years, Commercial League also supported the Bulgarian Christmas (an annual campaign organized with the full support of the President of the Republic), which aims to improve the care offerred to children with serious and rare diseases.
Health Campaigns
Commercial League is highly devoted to organizing various nationwide campaigns in pursuit of raising the awareness in the fight against cardiovascular diseases (the leading cause of death worldwide) and diabetes. As part of these we have provided free exams by some of the best professionals in Bulgaria, mobile teams of doctors visiting less populated areas that have limited access to quality healthcare and specialized information leaflets.
Supporting the Bulgarian medical science
Together with the Bulgarian Medical Association, European Society of Cardiology, the University Hospitals in Prague, Brno, Milan and the American Mayo and Cleveland Clinic since the beginning of 2007 until now we have organized more than 40 thematic lectures with the theme being “How to practice medicine in new Europe”. The participants numbered more than 30 000 doctors from various fields.
